I got My 1996 mustang Gt in Nov.03, and this is my 1st stang so I am new at adding things to a car. I have added a few "looks" things on it but I Really want to add some hp parts but I am Starting college in a few weeks so all I can Work is part time so funds are limited but would like to know what hp parts you guys think I should add as I get the funds(maybe in order on a list)

Thanks For All The help,

It appears that you are in a similar situation to me. I also have a Green 1996 Mustang GT. I'm 18 and am just starting college also. I'm working full time though. Best thing to start out with I would recomend would be gears or exhaust.

Thats what I did for my first mod was the Flowmaster American Thunder catback, then I got my Steeda Tri-Ax, then just recently got my MAC O/R H-pipe. I love all of mods especially the O/R H-pipe it sounds awesome with that on. As far as for more little bolt-ons you can do there is CAI, TB, plenum, headers, H/X pipe, gears.

I would do gears, Pi cams and intake and a o/r x-pipe. The PI cams and intake together will cost about as much as the x-pipe and they will give you about 30hp at the wheels which is a lot.

go with a Pro 5.0 shifter, cat-back kit of your liking, 3.73 gears or 4.10 gears, and remove the air silencer. If you feel froggy, you can go with the P-51 intake kit later on down the road.

if manual definitely the shifter, tri-ax or pro five, both good quality..I have the tri-ax. MAC prochamber and cat backs are a great exhaust. Underdrive pulleys and Timing Adjustor are also cheap and easy mods. Some sort of CAI also is a good starting point.

How much does the PI Cam swap and the PI head intake swap cost? I know the PI head swap costs around $2000. Also what kind of performs gain can I expect from each of those?

You could get a complete kit for the PI stuff at:
http://performance.parkwayfordga.com/Headswap.htm

However, look on the trader forum and corral, you can find that stuff for around $600 all said and done. So shop around. My mechanic said he would do the PI install for me for $500

gears first!!!! then mid pipe. if you ever plan to supercharge it like i did, dont waste your money on plenum, pullys etc. you will just have to resell like i am. supercharger almost done. cant wait. good luck man.

I would say without a doubt, GEARS FIRST!! THats your best bang-for-the-buck mod out there. You dont gain any HP but you can use what you have much easier. Gears first, then a midpipe.. then possibly a CAI/RAI.. etc.
